USAID Partners with Nestlé to Boost Low-Carbon Coffee Production in Southeast Asia

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Green Invest Asia project has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Nestlé aimed at reducing the company’s coffee carbon footprint in the Central Highlands of Vietnam and South Sumatra, Indonesia. The partnership will help inform the company’s strategy for future low-carbon interventions in the region.

By 2050, Nestlé has committed to be “net zero” and to lower the environmental footprint of its operations. Its interim goal is to halve greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) by 2030.  In 2018, the company estimated its such emissions at 92 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent.
